You should look for the (more expensive and rarer) models SRD-7Professionell, SRD-7SBProfessionell, SRD-7mk2, SRD-7SBmk2.
The mk2 varieties are suitable for both normal bias (6-pin) and pro bias (5-pin) headphones, the Professional varieties are pro bias only.
The SB models are slightly better.
Your headphones are made for pro bias (580V).
Cheers for the info.

I've read elsewhere about an adaptor called the Illusion ESc-001? which you can get in Japan? Is that an equally good choice or available on the net somewhere. Google wasn't much help.

Thanks for the welcome btw .

I've only just recently been exposed to the world of electrostats after hearing some Quad ESL57 and the modern Quad ESL2905

I've never really been one for closed headphones though I'm sure you people will convert me if I hang around here long enough
